Got to say, it's quite foolish to call those T3-pimpfests boring at all. It just so happens that many colliding entities can field roughly even numbers or atleast succesfully pretend to only have matching numbers to make fantastic engagements or sometimes horribly onesided ganks, but welp happens. It's (T3-warfare) a game that is played at the upper top of tech you can buy - and every oh so little difference in tactics and positioning can make for a vastly varying outcome, even though both sides are - for the unsuspecting - fielding identical fleets. I'd assume that more people would be flying an astarte instead of a proteus if it wouldn't take that much more time to train. "I honestly thought I was in lowsec"

Can you post a link to the numbers that show wormholes are stagnant? I am genuinely curious to see those statistics. I'd like to see that stat too.. in recent times I feel our population has been growing (I'd guess null guys experiancing burn out from null migrating to WHs).

However, I'm in agreement with Greywind, though I won't claim facts or stats. We should put some pressure on Chitsa to get us some numbers. There's nothing worse than an EVE player, generally considered to be top of the food chain in the MMO world, that cannot smacktalk with wit and coherency. |

In the past, Two Step was able to provide some statistics, such as POS's killed in each class of wormhole. I am assuming Chitsa or that other guy (his name escapes me) can get the same stuff. No trolling please |

There were some stats in 2012 that I assumed were measured as average number of players logging in each sec. If they can do that again, especially if they can show that diachronically, it'd be informative and useful, might give us as players and the CSM more data to work with when we argue about how this or that is good or bad for w-space.

To my mind we had a quiet Christmas and then came back to targets everywhere! WH's C1-4 are repopulating very quickly.
The "WH meta" isn't stagnant either.I see groups, some of whom are good friends, trying all sorts of new fleet disciplines and if you ever follow the Alliance Tournament you'll see some of the shock wins are coming more and more from WH folk and their ability to think out of the box.
But if you are asking me whether I would rather push a heavy BS fleet or a same DPS and 150%+ tanked T3 fleet through to a fight ? ............... Lemme think about it.

wth do AT comps have to do with your day-to-day metas? The problem isn't that we're unimaginative, who said that?
But then, you're saying that the problem of the one and only meta of w-space brawls is that "they are necessary so there's no problem"? That's precisely the problem: why would someone use another meta in a brawl in w-space? And what did thinking "out of the box" have anything to do with it in the first place then?

Well these arent exact numbers, but I had a quick look(and i do mean a quick look) at the amount of hulls being sold each day in jita for last 3 months, and these seem to be fairly stable. so a steady demand.
The amount of melted nanos being sold is also pretty steady, however the price of nanos has dropped significantly in the last 3 months 4.4m each to 3.6m each which to me means more are on the market now lowering the price. which would indicate more people are killing sleepers. which i suppose could mean people are carebearing it up 20% more or maybe we just have more people in wh space (probably c4 space is my guess as its alot fuller than people think).
some one who is better at this market interpretation might be able to do a better job than me.
It should be fairly easy to check dotlan and find out just how many sleeper kills there have been in say the last month compared to feb a year ago.
I'm going to ask chista and the other guy anywa for some numbers. |

First AT Comps don't do anything for day-today metas but, having been through the process of setting up and seeing it first hand the fapping and brainstorming actually DOES throw out ideas that I've seen put in place in the game.
No I didn't say I had the "cure for the one and only WH meta" just reinforcing WHY they are the only real option atm and hoping that new T3 changes will force that issue a bit other than the odd sac being included.
Bit hostile this morning?

Honestly, not everything wormholes is snails&frogs. The AT teams that prevailed have been mostly those with lots of nullexperience (VoC, KICK), or people that farm in w-space and actually do lowsec instead.

so on the people moving in to w space and stuff i have attually asked chista if he can find out the following.
how many sleepers have been killed each month for the last 18 months to 2 years.
and then a break down of how many sleepers killed per month by wh class for the last 18 months 2 years. |

See that is the mistake right there, the rights stats should be how much pvp kills and their values we have relative to other parts of EVE and are they decreasing or increasing (even in relative terms), and how many fights end up in having 1.5b + (or some other number) in losses in wh space, a stat for serious fights.
Another stat should be the relative damage done by ship type and gun type in wormhole space in pvp, similar to the domi stat having 5 times the damage of the next ship in null sec. I will bet that they are more than 95% are dreads and t3 damage, with close range guns.
If the measure of success in wh is in PVE kills then I guess we don't see eye to eye, as I measure the viability of the space in PVP activity and not PVE. My issue mostly stems from wh space being converted slowly to a farming space for alts while the vast majority of PVP content (even relative to numbers of inhabitants) is happening in known space, hence my push for more conflict drivers. |

pve will give youa idea of how many targets are avaible.
yeah pvp kills will also be useful but remember alot of wh space people get kills in null sec. pve will maybe not show just how many people live in whspace but should give a indicationon if more are coming in or leaving. yes might well be it just shows there are more carebears.
but you should also go and ask for them numbers i've already asked if chista can sort it out. do the same. |

You are changing your point mid-argument. You are not claiming that pvp in wh is dying, you claimed that wh are loosing memebers etc, and they are not evolving.
So you just reinforced that you are a troll alt.

So you just reinforced that you are a troll alt. If you are going to post with a troll alt, you obviously have no commitment/respect for yourself in this game or the wh community, no matter how many 'constructive conflict driving' posts you seem to have an 'opinion' on. I agree with conflict drivers being important, we have had great conflict drivers. Just look at last year and a few weeks ago. It just seems to me, every time you personally try and 'conflict drive' it is somewhat successful, but only towards generating conflict towards you.
My positions has always been that there is no higher level content in wormhole space, and not enough in game mechanics to drive pvp inside wh space. I never changed my argument. I should have emphasized the point more (made it clearer), the members I am talking about is higher level wh count, and people that actually create relevant PVP content.
My general dissatisfaction is two pronged:
1- The stagnant meta and similar fleet comps and setups throughout all relevant wh groups, just look at the killmails, even the ones linked in this post, they are all the same ships with the same fits.
2- The lack of conflict drivers and the lack of general strategic initiative in the PVP meta. Most relevant wh alliance are already having their bulk of PVP in known space, and if you look at most killboards, you will see a lack of pvp fights in wh space. I mean if everytime we have a 20 man fight we post about it, then we aren't having them a lot are we? |

Lack of posting does not imply lack of in-game content.
You have been asked multiple times to provide the numbers that have lead you to your 'opinion', and still have yet to produce them. Your argument is based on your opinion. And as an posting alt, your opinion=Bag o'dicks.

This is true for any fleet action, even in null sec. Look at the kbs of large fleet flights. They even have cute little nick names for their fleet setups and everything. Sure they are not restricted by wh's and they can escalate everything to 10% tidi, I guess we don't find that fun. Black Power - Brotha's in space unite! |

I think the one key point you are missing Joan is that wh space gives us access to all kinds of space. This allows us to have fun in high/low/null if we want. To limit ourselves to one small spot in Eve to pvp, when you have such access is foolish, at best.
Secondly, I have already explained why the meta is the way it is. T3s offer the best tank/dps/mass combination in game. It's quite simple to see why it hasn't changed. No other ships come close. I would like to see more options in the future, but for right now, that is your best option.
Lastly, post the numbers you saw. No trolling please |

For all your griping some of the most fun fights I've been in are those 20v20 type limited capital + t3 sub-cap compliment fights regardless of winning or losing and I've watched the fits and meta evolve over the last couple of years even today people are trying new fits and ideas to try and counter i.e. jamming tengus or positioning/timing to buy time against neuting, etc. etc. |

Being relatively new to wormhole space, I understand how it may seem stale, but for me, the meta of wh brawls is still fresh and exciting. While they may look the same on the surface, i've yet to be in a fight where it played out the same.

I'd just like to mention how nice it is to not have to do that 80 jump blue doughnut roam to find targets. I would encourage anyone that feels their area of k space is getting stale to give wh's a shot, The ability to be nowhere and anywhere at the same time will probably keep things fresh for me for quite some time.
